Should I be concerned that my doctor Told me I'll be the heaviest Patient she ever had To...
What did the doctor tell you? I assume he/she thinks the surgery is less dangerous than you remaining at your current weight.
I don't think there are many surgeons who will operate on someone over 500 pounds. Which surgery are you having? Sleeve? I think Dr. Now starts with the sleeve now and then revises to a more complicated surgery after his patients have lost weight.

"May your choices reflect your hopes and not your fears."
You will go through a lot of tests to make sure you are ready for surgery.
You may be her heaviest and but that could also make you her greatest success.
If you haven't asked or been given the information already I would ask how many RNY/Gastric Bypass surgeries she has done. Not that having done more makes you a better surgeon, I would just want to know she was well experienced.
